Abstract
A process for manufacturing a component from a mechanically unstable .beta.-titanium alloy which exhibits 3 shape-related memory effects which all differ from one another: a one-way effect, a two-way effect (resembling a bi-metal), this effect being virtually hysteresis-free but occurring continuously over a wide phase-transformation temperature range, and an irreversible effect, which is isothermal. Utilization of the effects in thermal triggering elements (electrical switches) as well as in fixed or detachable connecting elements for components.
